Halloween Safety Tips
Walk Safely: Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks.
Look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross. Put
electronic devices down and keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street.
Teach children to make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of them.
Always walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as
far to the left as possible. Children should walk on direct routes with the fewest
street crossings. Watch for cars that are turning or backing up. Teach children to
never dart out into the street or cross between parked cars.
Trick or Treat with an Adult: Children under the age of 12 should not be alone
at night without adult supervision. If kids are mature enough to be out without
supervision, they should stick to familiar areas that are well lit and trick-or-treat
in groups.
Keep Costumes Both Creative and Safe: Decorate costumes and bags with
reflective tape or stickers and if possible, choose light colors. Choose face paint
and makeup whenever possible instead of masks, which can obstruct a child’s
vision. Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen by
drivers. When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips
and falls.
Drive Extra Safely on Halloween: Slow down and be especially alert in residential
neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable
ways. Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians and on curbs.
Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully. Eliminate any distractions
inside your car so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings. Drive
slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic and turn your headlights on earlier in the
day to spot children from greater distances. Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30
PM to 9:30 PM so be especially alert for kids during those hours.

News From The Board
Visit your website at Lakesideresidential.com.
UPCOMING EVENTS AND NEW INFORMATION
We always are looking for new members to throw a helping hand in to
make our neighborhood better!
Some interest has been expressed in a walk around the lake we have
adjacent to our commons area.. Your MUD has complete control over
that area, please call and petition the MUD to add this feature to our area.
It could be a great value adding feature.
THANKS TO OUR VOLUNTEERS!
We would like to build a bank of volunteers to help with various activities
throughout the year! Poolside holiday events, National Get Out and Meet
Your Neighbors night. Your time and effort will be greatly appreciated
by all! The more volunteers we have, the more events that can take
place. Events that are meant to bring our community together just don’t
happen without these folks who give up their time and efforts for you.
Unfortunately, they are many times taken for granted, when in fact, they
are much appreciated by the Board.
WE ARE LAKESIDE RESIDENTIAL
HOA meetings held the 1 st Monday of the month at 6:30 PM. (Unless
Monday is a holiday, then will meet the following evening.) HOA meetings
will be held at the Cypress Crossing Christian Church, located at 15751
Cypress Rosehill Road, Cypress, Texas 77429. Executive Board meeting
will follow regular homeowners meeting.
Residents who will be present for the Board meeting are asked, if they
have any questions or concerns prior to the Board meeting to please
advise Sarie, so that she may prepare and direct questions and concerns
in a timely manner to the Board of Directors before the executive session.
You may reach her by email at: sarie.fellwock@fsresidential.com or you
may reach her by calling 713- 984-7237
We live in a development known as Villages of Cypress Lakes. Your
community is Lakeside. Our website is Lakesideresidential.com. By-
Laws, Deed Restrictions, Pool hours and card applications, a map of the
community showing sections by number, streets and entrances are all
there to better help you with your inquiries as well as responsibilities as
a home owner.
All payments made to the HOA should be made out to Lakeside
Residential.
KID ACTIVITIES
We, as a community, have just a few amenities. We have a Pool, a Splash
pad for small children, a playground for small children. We have nothing
for teenagers or tween-agers 12 to 18. If you have any suggestions it
would be greatly appreciated.
What can we, as a community, do to give our kids activities they can be
a part of, enjoy and be clean, courteous involvements. Remember, these
are your kids. We all meet every month on the first Monday. Bring your
ideas.
HEY NEIGHBOR…
We live in a neighborhood governed by a HOA. That means that as
homeowners, we agree to abide by rules and restrictions intended to
keep our neighborhood in good shape, to keep our property assessments
rising and to provide a platform for all neighbors to voice concerns about
any apparent discrepancies that may diminish your home value.
Whether we agree with the deed restrictions and covenants or not, the
rules and guidelines already exist. As members of the association, owners
Attention Residents!
Send in your community events and news to news@krenekprinting.com.
Let your neighborhood know what’s going on around your community!
are responsible for the upkeep on their properties and following the
guidelines of landscaping, paint, fencing and of course most importantly
being a good neighbor. Homeowners are required to maintain their
properties, while not making changes without approval. When you need
to replace a fence, do it, but it must be an exact replacement; Not taller,
not shorter, nor a different style. The community must look consistent
and well planned. This concept is appealing to new buyers and it also
makes for good neighbors, etc. A few of the most common HOA rules that
apply to all of us are:
• Vehicle storage is not allowed on your lot, please have current registration
stickers on all your vehicles. They are supposed to be drivable. Covering
with tarps won’t help! The disabled cars parked in the driveway are in
violation of HOA guidelines and will initiate letters to homeowner. Any
disabled vehicle parked on the street is a county offense and should be
reported to the Constable.
• Inspect your fence for any missing or damaged fence pickets, we are
required to maintain and replace pickets as they deteriorate and fail
• Mow your lawn and edge the walks. It is required of every homeowner.
• Trashcans are not to be visible from the street. Place at curb the night
before only on garbage pickup days and retrieve the collection day by
nightfall.
• When you order new cable or satellite service, remind the installer that
you live in a HOA and there are restrictions All of the installers are aware
of all restrictions and will gladly install correctly if they understand that
you are concerned about your HOA and therefore your home value.
• Door and or trim painting must be approved by via ACR, you can retrieve
an ACR form through the lakesideresidential.com website.
SUPPORT YOUR HOA (HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION)
The Meeting of all homeowners and the elected Board of Directors is at
the Cypress Crossroads Church, 15751 Cypress Rosehill Rd. on the first
Monday of the month. If the first Monday is a holiday, then the meeting
is held the next day, Tuesday.
You can find the meeting dates at Lakesideresidential.com. The minutes
of the meetings, as well as governing documents, forms, community
events, etc. can be found on the website for homeowner review.
Please, come to the meetings and get involved. Together, we can make
improvements to our community and enjoy a more pleasant life among
neighbors.
BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.
Whether you’re a homeowner and therefore a member of the Association
or a renter, the deed restrictions of Lakeside apply to you. We all want
our neighborhood to look good, feel like home and keep up the value of
our properties. Many of us moved here to get out of the city and city-like
areas that aren’t quite up to the standards we want to set for our families
and kids. We need to keep it that way!
Association by-laws, deed restrictions, Architectural changes, etc can be
found on our website Lakesideresidential.com.
Whether at a Board meeting, email, phone or one-on-one conversations,
there are a number of requests and complaints that come from the
neighborhood residents, both members and non-members alike. Most of
these can be summed up into:
• Keep down the noise! Barking Dogs, loud music.
• Walk your dog, respect other folk’s yards, take along your “poo-pickup”
bags and clean up the mess.
• Speaking of yards, clean them up. Plant new, remove old. Mow as needed
to keep the neighborhood looking well kept and desirable to live in.
October 2018 | Villages of Cypress Lakes Lakeside

• Power wash that mildew off your house.
•SLOW DOWN!!! This is a neighborhood! 30 MPH may be too fast. The kids
on the street are much more important than any excuse for fast and or
reckless driving. Tell your teen drivers that you expect them to love and
respect the neighborhood.

ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE
So you’d like to build an igloo or paint your house red and blue to pay
tribute to your favorite sports team? These are easily identified as
requests that would not be allowed in our neighborhood. But what are
the kinds of things for which you need to submit a request for approval to
the HOA? Basically, if you are making a change to your home or yard, you
are required to submit a request. Some common requests are:
• Installing a pool
• Replacing windows, doors or shutters
• Building a covered patio
• Installing a storage unit
• Installing an irrigation system
• Replacing your roof
• Painting your home/trim
• Removing/replacing the trees in your front yard
• Landscaping change in your front yard
All requests are processed in a timely manner. If you have not received
a timely response, please reach out to a Board member or your FSR
contact person….
Keep in mind that approval may take up to 30 days - plan ahead! Submit
your application early, so that your project is not delayed. The ACC
committee is made up of volunteers and our goal is to provide a beautiful
and consistent look to our neighborhood.
REPLACING YOUR FENCE. This one is a little more complex. If you are
replacing your fence with EXACTLY the same fence (in the same place
with the same size boards and the same pattern), then you don’t need
HOA approval. However, if you are CHANGING anything - the pattern of
the fence (including installing rot board at the bottom), moving it, adding
a gate or changing the material of your fence, then you need approval of
the HOA.
CONSTABLE PATROL 281-376-3472
As a reminder, the Association has a patrol contract with Harris County
Precinct 4 Constable, through MUD 391. Please add the dispatch number
to your cell phones or post in a visible place at home in case you need
support in a non-life threatening situation. If you don’t call to report a
crime or suspected criminal activity in progress or suspicious persons
or vehicles, no arrests will be made, the crime or criminal activity will
continue and the Constable’s Office will not know that anything is going
on. The social communities that we use to communicate with each other
is NOT monitored by the constables. Posting on any media site is not
notification to get assistance. Yes, we have those rare occasions where
a Deputy, by pure luck, drives up on a crime or suspicious activity in
progress. But why rely on luck when you have a telephone? The number
to call is 281-376-3472. If there is a life threatening emergency, call 9-1-1.
The Constable Patrol also offers a free vacation watch service, keeping
your home under watch while you’re away.
LOITERING AND VANDALISM
Please help us to keep our recreation areas safe and clean by reporting
any and all loitering after dark directly to the Constable at 281-376-3472.
Please also remember to report any suspicious persons walking around
the community or at the parks immediately to the Constable Patrol.
Don’t call the management co or HOA Director, We’re NOT the law! Better
safe than sorry!
TRASHCANS
BEST TRASH is the service for Lakeside Residential, your community.
They can be contacted 281-313-2378. Check their website for holidays,
remembering they will pick up on the next regular pick up day.
• Please do not put trash out before the night before trash day and be
sure to pick them up after collection.
• Trashcans make the streets look very messy when not out for pick-up.
• Trash cans have the most violation letters sent out.
• Remember to place trashcans in the garage, backyard or behind a
barrier by the house, that looks nice and hides the can. The new barrier
must hide cans from street and be acceptable. Cans just stored by your
house will get you a compliance violation letter.
Teenage Job Seekers
If you are between 12 and 18 and would like to be added to the
teenage job seeker’s list, please fill out the form on our website (www.
krenekprinting.com, click submissions and choose Jobseekers) with
your name, birthdate (mo. & yr.), phone number, year you will graduate

will remove you from the list until we do. Must have parent(s) permission.
DISCLAIMER

400-Plus Volunteer Bus Buddies
Assist Young CFISD Bus Riders
In assisting the new bus riders and drivers and CFISD, 430 community
volunteers assisted in the 12 th annual CFISD Bus Buddies program during
the first week of classes. It’s the second consecutive year in which the
total has topped 400 volunteers, with many serving as a Bus Buddy for
more than one day.
Bus Buddies rode CFISD school buses from 2:45 PM to 5 PM for the first
two days of school, August 27 th -28 th , to ensure young students were safely
transported to their proper drop-off points and locations.
“Our Bus Buddies program was another success this year, but it
would not have been possible without the support of our business
partners, administration and community members,” said Bill Powell,
assistant superintendent of support services. “I am also grateful to
our communication and community engagement departments for
promoting and scheduling the program to ensure our students’ safety
over the first two days of school. Thank you to everyone for making it a
great success.” In addition to community volunteers, 102 businesses and
organizations participated in the program.
CFISD High Schools Recognized In
U.s. News & World Report Rankings
Cypress Woods and Cypress Ranch high schools ranked among the top
1,700 U.S. high schools in the country, while Langham Creek and Cypress
Ridge high schools gave Cypress-Fairbanks ISD four schools among the
top 2,700 nationally, according to U.S. News & World Report’s annual list
of America’s Best High Schools.
In achieving a high level of college readiness, Cypress Woods, Cypress
Ranch, Langham Creek and Cypress Ridge were awarded silver medals,
while Cypress Springs, Jersey Village and Cypress Lakes high schools
were bronze medal winners.
October 2018 | Villages of Cypress Lakes Lakeside

The 2018 list evaluates schools that have proven the most effective in
producing college-ready graduates, based on a four-step process:
Determining whether a school’s students were performing better than
statistically expected for students in that state; Assessing whether their
historically underserved students (African American, Hispanic and lowincome)
performed at or better than the state average for historically
underserved students; Meeting or surpassing a benchmark for a school’s
graduation rate (80 percent or greater) and Assessing college-readiness
performance using Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate
test data as the benchmark for success.
The fourth step measured which schools produced the best college-level
achievement for the highest percentages of their students, which was
completed by computing a College Readiness Index. The maximum CRI
value is 100. To be ranked nationally, a high school had to pass the first
three steps and have a CRI value at or above 21.51 (the midpoint of all
CRI values).
Of the 5,948 highest-scoring schools, the top 500 were awarded gold
medals. Schools ranked No. 501 to No. 2,711 were awarded silver medals,
while the remaining 3,237 ranked schools were awarded bronze medals.
Cypress Woods was ranked at 1,297 in the nation and 149 in Texas with a
97-percent graduation rate and 40.2 CRI value.
Cypress Ranch was ranked 1,678 in the nation and 173 in Texas with a
98-percent graduation rate and 34.3 CRI value.
Langham Creek was ranked 2,198 in the nation and 194 in Texas with a
92-percent graduation rate and 27.4 CRI value.
Cypress Ridge was ranked 2,670 in the nation and 224 in Texas with a
94-percent graduation rate and 22.0 CRI value.
For more information on the America’s Best High Schools rankings, visit
the U.S. News & World Report website.

PRIVATE SCHOOLS
COVENANT ACADEMY NEWS
PATRIOTS’ WEEK is an uplifting,
energizing way to
build community and grow
disciples during this first full
week of school. During Patriots’
Week, our students
rotated through four settings
each day. In planting
our gardens, students cultivated
goodness and beauty
and learned about caring
for the earth that God has
given to us. In the House of
Cards, students learned the
skill of passing time together
without consuming technology
while strengthening
number sense. Our team
building games of Sock
Dodge and Steal the Bacon
showed them that they can
learn to win well, lose well and take risks in group settings. Lastly, our
seniors taught students about the Code of Conduct and how Christ’s
work on our behalf helps us to move toward His likeness.

National Train Your Brain Day
October 13 th is National Train Your Brain Day - a holiday created to encourage
everyone to expand and exercise their brain and use more of its potential
capacity. If you’re one of countless people who don’t make a habit of reading
regularly, you might be missing out as reading benefits the brain in many ways:
It prevents dementia: Studies have shown that mentally stimulating
activities such as reading slow the progress of (or possibly even prevent)
Alzheimer’s and Dementia. The new research, which appears in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that elderly
people who regularly read are 2 ½ times less likely to suffer these
debilitating illnesses.
It enhances your vocabulary: Simply put, the more you read, the more
words you gain exposure to. Expanding your vocabulary is a powerful
way to enhance both your life - and your career. Researcher Johnson
O’Connor who is known for his studies about the impact of vocabulary
on people’s lives has found that a person’s vocabulary level is the best
single predictor of occupational success.
It improves your memory: Just like muscles, the brain benefits from a good
workout. When you read, you have to remember a whole host of characters,
as well as get to grips with the various arcs and sub-plots that weave their
way through any story. Incredibly enough, every new memory you create
forges new synapses (brain pathways) and strengthens existing ones, which
assists in short-term memory recall as well as stabilising moods.
It keeps you smart: In Anne E. Cunningham’s paper What Reading Does
for the Mind, she found that reading, in general, makes you smarter and it
keeps you sharp as you age. Knowledge is power and unlike most things
in life, it cannot be taken away from you.
If that’s not enough reason to curl up with a good book, we don’t know
what is!
Other ways to train your Brain:
There are many different ways to train your mind and improve your
cognitive skills such as word puzzles, number games, brain teasers, trivia
games, riddles and word games. Learning something new is another
practice that is a benefit to everyone’s brain on National Train Your Brain
Day (as well as any other day). When the question is asked to American
scientists as to how much of the brain is used, the answer varies. However,
many of them believe that it is only a small percentage and that there
is room for expanded learning and knowledge within everyone. So do
some logic puzzles, brain teasers and riddles to train your brain.

National Bullying Prevention Month
National Bullying Prevention Month is observed in October. National
Bullying Prevention Month was created by PACER and started as a weekly
observation in 2006. In 2010, the observation change to monthly. Take
a stand against bullying. Spread the word about the negative effects
bullying can cause.

it comes to showing that you care about preventing bullying? Come
together in one giant ORANGE message of hope and support, WEAR
and SHARE ORANGE to color our nation and even the world, visibly
showing that our society believes that no child should ever experience
bullying.
National Day Of The Deployed
October 26 th is annually designated as National Day of the Deployed.
National Day of the Deployed honors all of the brave men and woman
who have been deployed, are sacrificing or have sacrificed their lives to
defend our country. The day also acknowledges their families who are
separated from them during deployment and the sacrifices they make in
order for their family members to serve our country.
Shelle Michaels Aberle founded National Day of the Deployed in 2006.
Ms. Aberle approached then North Dakota Governor John Hoeven for
support of a North Dakota Proclamation for the day. Governor Hoeven
was the first governor in the United States to recognize deployed troops
in a formal proclamation. October 26 th was chosen by Aberle’s cousin,
Bottineau, ND native LTC David Hosna who was deployed to Iraq from
Kaiserslautern, Germany. October 26 th is the date of Hosna’s birthday.
Grand Forks, North Dakota hosted the first event. The first units honored
by this proclamation were: NDARNG 1-188 th ADA SECFOR and JLENS
deployed to Afghanistan.
In 2011, Senator John Hoeven led the efforts and co-sponsored S.RES.295
for a national day of honor. On October 18, 2011, the resolution passed
unanimously for the first national day honoring deployed troops and their
families. In 2012, all 50 states observed National Day of the Deployed.

OCTOBER IS
BREAST CANCER
AWARENESS MONTH
The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) program is
dedicated to increasing awareness about the importance of the early
detection of breast cancer through a nationwide campaign. NBCAM
started as a weeklong campaign in 1985 with 2 founding members.
Today the American Cancer Society is one of many national public
service organizations, professional associations and government
agencies that form the NBCAM Board of Sponsors. During October,
which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the member
organizations of the Board of Sponsors join forces to spread the
message that early detection of breast cancer followed by prompt
treatment saves lives.
The American Cancer Society recommends early detections. Women
age 40 and older should have a screening mammogram every year
and should continue to do so for as long as they are in good health.
The third Friday in October each year is National Mammography Day,
first proclaimed by President Clinton in 1993. On this day or throughout
the month, women are encouraged to make a mammography
appointment.
To find a facility in your area, please call:
American Cancer Society 800-227-2345
National Cancer Institute 800-4-CANCER
Or visit nbcam.org or www.cancer.org for more information.
3 STEPS TO EARLY DETECTION
One in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
However, with early detection and treatment, you can greatly improve
your chance of survival.
Early detection means finding the cancer before it spreads to other
parts of the body. Although breast cancer cannot be completely prevented,
early detection provides the greatest possibility of successful
treatment. By following these three steps, you will help increase your
chance of detecting cancer early.
CHANGES TO LOOK FOR INCLUDE:
• A lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the underarm area
• A change in the size or shape of the breast
• Dimpling or puckering in the skin of the breast
• A nipple turned inward into the breast
• Discharge (fluid) from the nipple
• Scaly, red or swollen skin on the breast, nipple or areola (the dark
area of skin at the center of the breast)
You should see your health care provider about any of these symptoms.
Often these symptoms are not due to cancer, but if you notice
any changes in your body, tell your health care provider immediately
so that the problems can be diagnosed and treated.
2. WELL-WOMAN EXAM
It is recommended that women visit their family physician or gynecologist
each year for an annual Well-Woman Exam. In addition to a
routine pelvic exam and pap smear, the doctor may perform a brief
breast exam to check for abnormalities. The Well-Woman Exam is a
great opportunity for you to discuss with your health care provider
any questions or concerns you have regarding your breast health. For
example, your doctor may help you to determine the most appropriate
frequency for your early detection steps.
3. MAMMOGRAM
In its early stages, breast cancer doesn’t usually cause symptoms. NBCF
recommends that women ages 40 and older get a mammogram every
year. A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. It is a safe way to detect
cancerous tumors and other abnormal breast conditions and women
who have screening mammograms have a lower chance of dying from
breast cancer than women who do not have screening mammograms.
Mammograms can detect cancer or other problems before a lump
becomes large enough to be detectable to the touch. They provide an
effective way to find breast cancer in its early stages when treatment is
usually the most successful. Mammograms are considered safe, quick
and relatively painless.
Source: National Breast Cancer Foundation
1. BREAST SELF-AWARENESS
Breast self-awareness can help you become familiar with how your
breasts normally look and feel. Knowing this will help you identify any
changes in your breasts that should be reported to your health care
professional promptly. If you find a lump, schedule an appointment
with your doctor, but don’t panic - 8 out of 10 lumps are not cancerous.

October is National Protect
Your Hearing Month
October is National Protect Your Hearing month. More than 36 million
Americans suffer from some type of hearing loss. Contrary to what many
people think, this isn’t an issue just for the older adult population: half of
hearing loss sufferers in America are younger than 65. Let’s take a closer
look at the causes of hearing loss and how to be proactive in protecting
and preserving your hearing.
Types of Hearing Loss
There are three types of hearing loss. Aging is the reason most of us think
of first. Hearing loss can also be caused by illness. Noise-induced hearing
loss (NIHL) is the third type of hearing loss and it’s on the rise in America.
We are exposed to more noise than ever before. This doesn’t mean,
though, that hearing loss is inevitable. Hearing care and examinations at
a hearing clinic can help protect your hearing and prevent hearing loss
due to excessive noise.
How We Hear
How do we hear? The outer part of our ear acts as a funnel, channeling
sound waves into the ear canal. There, they vibrate the ear drum and
pass through to the middle ear. Within the middle ear are the three
smallest bones in the human body. These tiny bones are responsible for
amplifying the sounds waves before they move to the inner ear. This part
of the ear is related to balance. The middle ear also contains microscopic
hairs that, when vibrated, trigger the electrical impulses that are then
sent to the brain from the auditory nerve, allowing us to hear.

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
Noise-induced hearing loss happens with prolonged exposure to noise
levels at 85 decibels or higher. When the tiny hairs in our ear canal are
exposed to this level of noise over time, these hairs can become damaged.
This damage is permanent. You might be surprised to find out that many
noise sources that we encounter in our daily lives measure higher than 85
decibels - the threshold at which noise levels start to become damaging
to the ears.
Hair dryers and ambulances are two such examples. Music concerts
and sporting events also have noise levels above 85db. Does this mean
drying your hair occasionally or going to a few football games will lead
to hearing loss? Not necessarily. It’s important to talk to a trained and
licensed audiologist and get a hearing assessment to make sure you’re
doing what you can to prevent noise-induced hearing loss.
How an Audiologist Can Help
An audiologist is a state-licensed health care professional that holds a
master’s or doctorate degree from an accredited university. Audiologists
don’t just fit hearing aids or deal with a patients’ hearing loss after the
fact - though this is an important part of their work. Audiologists are also
able to design and implement a plan for you to prevent noise-induced
hearing loss in the first place.
Take steps this October to better protect your hearing. Get to know your
audiologist and schedule a hearing assessment. If you are someone who
is regularly subject to excessive noise levels, an audiologist can work
with you to prevent permanent hearing damage.

Gardening Tips For October
• Dig and store caladiums before the foliage dies. Allow the bulbs to dry in the
shade, shake off the dried soil and dust with sulphur to control fungus. Store by
hanging in open mesh bags or old panty hose.
• Flowers planted for spring can begin when the temperatures are going to stay
cooler. Shrubs and trees can be planted now. Woody plants concentrate on root
growth through the winter and the more headstart they can get before summer,
the better.
• October 15th is about the time for dividing and planting daylilies.
• Watch out for brown patch in St. Augustine grass. These circular brown patches
are caused by a fungus that is activated by moist cool weather. Control with
Daconil.
• If you need to do any pruning, do it early in the month. The re-growth stimulated
by pruning needs to harden off before that odd-ball frost of Halloween. Prune
fruit trees when leaves begin to fall. Remove all dead, weak and over-crowded
growth. Tip back main branches to control size and shape. Spray w/dormant oil
when temperature is between 30-60 degrees.
• Cut back tops of perennials after they have bloomed. Divide roots and transplant
anytime from now until March, the earlier the better.
• Get the ant baits down. This will greatly reduce your spring populations.
• Clover left over from last year may be growing. It’s best to hit it with the postemerge
herbicides in October and November. At least two applications are usually
needed, even if done this early.
• For color throughout the winter, begin planting pansies.
